"When Konrad Laimer signed his first Bayern Munich contract, which would bind him to the club until 2027, his former manager Julian Nagelsmann was set to greet him and add him as the key puzzle piece in midfield to the German manager's gegenpressing machine. When he arrived, he was met instead by Thomas Tuchel, who saw the Austrian play a lot of his minutes as a makeshift right back. Now he is playing as a hybrid right sided midfielder/right back/left back under Vincent Kompany."
"Bayern want to extend Konrad Laimer's contract. A deal could even be done before the end of this year. Talks have already taken place. Laimer feels comfortable in Munich, and an agreement is considered likely. Financially, there also appear to be no major obstacles. The base salary of around €9m gross per year is to be slightly adjusted, and the negotiations could be concluded quickly"
"[Bayern's sporting director] Christoph Freund to SPORTBILD: "Konny is a great guy and a key player for the future. It would be wonderful if he were to stay at FC Bayern for a very, very long time." It is rather difficult to disagree with Freund's assessment here. How can one watch his current performances and not hope the Austrian stays for a long time?"
Konrad Laimer joined Bayern Munich on a contract running until 2027 and has experienced multiple managerial changes that altered his role. Julian Nagelsmann had envisioned him as a midfield puzzle piece, Thomas Tuchel deployed him often as a makeshift right back, and Vincent Kompany now uses him as a hybrid right-sided midfielder/right back/left back. Laimer is flourishing under Kompany, and Bayern have opened contract-extension talks with minor financial adjustments to his roughly €9m gross base salary expected. Sporting director Christoph Freund called him a key player for the future. Bayern recently produced a dramatic 2-1 victory.
